When societies are built on traditions and social norms of gender inequality and male dominance, male children are often held in a higher regard than female children. This son preference places girls at a disadvantage and perpetuates women’s inferior position in these societies. #womensafehouse #endgbv #endviolence #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #notodomesticviolence #enddomesticviolence #speakout #sonpreference 

According to a ‘National Survey and Gap Analysis report on Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management: 1. Nearly 50% of adolescent girls (15-19 age group) in urban slums lack access to hygiene methods for managing their periods. 2. 70 % of the girls do not know anything about menstruation when they first experience it. 3. 7 out of 10 mothers lack knowledge about menstruation, making matters worse. The survey was done by the Gender Equality Working Group of C20 in association with Unesco India and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. These numbers are alarming, to say the least, and certainly underscore the huge need to provide proper Menstrual Health and Hygiene education to girls well before they can expect their first period. Mothers on the other hand need to be educated and enabled to answer questions and help their daughters take care of themselves in a responsible way. We at the Education for Good Foundation strive to continue educating children in schools and colleges and encourage you to reach out to us if you have questions or need help.

Turkey's first Association of Single Mothers has been established. At its inaugural conference, supported by BAUEQUAL, various topics were discussed, including the status and situation of single mothers worldwide, their social and legal rights, social support provided for single mothers by local authorities, challenges faced by working single mothers in the workplace, proposed solutions, the insufficient rights of single mothers in the diversity and inclusivity efforts of institutions, inspiring stories of entrepreneurial single mothers, and the role of single mothers in civil society initiatives. Speaking at the event, Association President Serap YELKENCİ stated, "The launch of the Association of Single Mothers will be a starting point for the fight for gender equality. It is an important step towards putting more effort into creating a society where everyone has equal rights, maintaining this balance, and building an egalitarian future. We estimate that there are nearly 3.5 million single mothers in Turkey. Based on household average data, we estimate that nearly 7 million children are raised by single mothers. These figures do not include those involved in ongoing divorce cases. With the increasing divorce rate, this number increases every year. In the coming years, a large majority of society will be shaped by children raised by single mothers. Therefore, the well-being of single mothers physically, mentally, and emotionally will greatly influence the well-being of society." #SingleMothers #SocietalImpact #GenderEquality #SingleMom #BAUEQUAL

Gender Equality cannot exist without Menstrual Justice for all. That is why the 2023 Women Deliver Conference’s Menstrual Health session by Global Menstrual Collective (Irise International) had the following calls to action to advance menstrual health: 1. Recognition to invest in menstrual health to break barriers at the intersection of gender, race, economics, and climate. 2. Adopt a feminist lens to transform harmful power structures, norms, stigma, and discrimination in gender equality efforts. 3. Integrate menstrual health into sexual and reproductive health and rights across all life stages. 4. Center the voices of those with lived menstrual experiences in policies and programs. 5. Inclusion of all people with disabilities, the LGBTQIA community, and those in humanitarian settings. 6. Increase investments in grassroots movements for social norm change and advocacy efforts at all levels. 7. Create spaces, physical and digital, for knowledge sharing and understanding menstrual health. 8. Track progress globally, nationally, and locally in menstrual health, making data accessible for grassroots advocacy. Menstrual Justice plays a crucial role in achieving gender equality. When we tackle it as a whole, it can drive big changes towards equality for everyone.

🌸 How are you building your awareness of intersectionality? 🌸 Do you consider intersectionality when building policies, practices and strategies? 🌸 Have you considered how tackling the gender inequality without considerations of racism, class or disability will perpetuate inequities among women? As Australian workplaces take charge to report on their Gender Pay Gaps, we're starting to see momentum towards equitable futures. But it is evident that the lack of intersectional data means that individuals with multiple marginalised identities are being overlooked. We invite you to participate in our workshop which takes you through the important concept of intersectionality and guide you to look at the world through an intersectional lens. What? Introduction to Intersectional Frameworks Workshop (1.5 hours) When? 26th February 12pm AEST time Where? Online To make this as accessible as possible, we have three pricing tiers including some limited free tickets for those who may face additional barriers. 📍 RESERVE YOUR SPOT: https://lnkd.in/eWbNNuhc We would love to see you there! Please share this with anyone who would find this of interest. #genderpaygap #intersectionality
